‘Born alive’ bill passes Missouri House. Critics say it threatens medication abortions
It’s in the Springfield News-Leader, but it is not by News-Leader staff or, heaven forfend, the “news” organization Associated Press. It’s by the Missouri Independent people, a left-wing editorial organization whom I remember from my old days blogging with the political blog 24th State.
I’ve seen a lot of Missouri Independent pieces infesting the small newspapers I get from around the state. I’m always disappointed to see it, as the news “article” trashes Republicans as news. But the small town papers are starting to trend leftward even though their readerships are not (and as their page counts diminish and they cannot afford actual people in their area to write articles). On the other hand, when they unexpectedly close shop, I’ll save money on annual non-local subscriptions, so that will be nice.
